On February 19, 1812, Adoniram Judson, his wife Ann, and a few others set sail for the Far East from their American homeland. The launching of these missionaries by a newly formed outreach society marked the beginning of Americans formally joining the modem missions movement. With the advent of 2012 comes recognition of the bicentennial of Judson’s departure and official start of the American missionary enterprise. This volume seeks to honor the life and mission of Judson while retelling his story for a new generation. With the occasion of the 200-year anniversary of Judson’s departure as a fitting context for such a presentation, the his- torians, theologians, and missiologists writing here under the guidance of editor Jason G. Duesing have endeavored not only to serve as Judson’s biographers of past events, but also as his interpreters of what they hope will take place in the present and future. Contributors include Paige Patterson, Michael A. G. Haykin, Robert Caldwell, Nathan A. Finn, Candi Finch, Keith E. Eitel, Gregory A. Wills, and Daniel L. Akin.

This book is a work of historical and cultural significance. Adoniram Judson was the first American missionary to Burma over 100 years ago. This book is not about him. This book is about the intrepid women who worked by his side. Written by Arabella Stuart at a time when women were just beginning to be recognized as writers in Western society, this book is about the Lives of three courageous and selfless women: Mrs. Ann H. Judson, Mrs. Sarah B. Judson and Mrs. Emily C. Judson. These three were all married in succession to Adoniram Judson, and they were all, in their own right, among the earliest missionaries to Burma. This is a book of love -- of commitment to a cause greater in importance than any personal sacrifice. At times gentle and at turns hair-raising, this is a thrilling story of three women who are examples to each one of us, men and women alike.
